Something in the way of “an apartment key is useless if you can’t get into the building”.

Rule of thumb:

• are you making fun or otherwise mocking someone?
• are you doing it for any “bad reason” whatsoever?
• are you doing something that is/was primarily done by others for “bad reasons”, historically?
• are you doing something that other groups started doing as a replacement for something else that they were not allowed to (that you are)?

I’m half asleep so I may have forgotten something but if I didn’t, then answering No to all of those should be the minimum thing you do.

If I understood correctly is demanding payments from WP Engine for offering competing services using wordpress.

I’m gonna go on “no stupid question” and ask why my old hard drives aren’t doubling in size.

Superman knows where there’s people and where there isn’t. Authors can argue there wasn’t anyone there.

You can but only if you’re wearing the Zora armor.

I use Vivaldi as well but every time I update it I need to change one of it’s internal JS files to remove one UI restriction that annoys me: I use two vertical tab bars, one for showing all the tab groups and another for showing the tabs inside the selected group. For some reason Vivaldi limits the width of the two sidebar (combined) to 330px, which is too small for my tastes.

The fact that a simple OS update can make the CPU up to 13% more effective makes me wonder how much performance difference there is between Windows and Linux.

Since I have dual boot, I’ll check later if I can find any benchmark tool that works on both so I can compare.

Anyone in charge of a non-publicly traded company will want to do what’s best for the company in the long term instead of milking as much from it as fast as they can, so I don’t think that replacing Gabe by someone else will be the end of Valve like so many people claim.

Oh, there is. But while they keep this game up, there’s still plausible deniability for everything.

The creator of bitcoin is as unknown as batman’s identity. The folks at the center of the main blockchain companies and stuff like that all know pretty well who created it, they just play along with the story.

There are many communities I would have no interest in participating actively, but that I still like to hear about when something big happens. The all feed kinda gives me that sort of experience.

I read the “not the onion” name before clicking but it wasn’t until I reached the end of the article and saw the author’s name that it finally clicked that this was in fact not the onion.

While reading the thing it all seemed “weird this doesn’t feel like an onion article even though the content is so much onion” and “are those references to other phallic stuff all from past onion articles too?”

In Portuguese we don’t use many acronyms, but we have shorter versions of words with the vowels removed or things like that. When people tried to use acronyms we ended up with “fds” which some people read as weekend, others read as “fuck it”. The only other acronyms I can think of right now are all for offenses such as fdp (son of a bitch) and cdf (“ass of iron”, very old term for calling someone a nerd).
